WATCH: Joelistics – ‘In The Morning’

Hailing from Sydney, Joel Ma first turned heads as a member of Melbourne-based hip-hop crew TZU, dispatching spitfire turns-of-phrase under the moniker Joelistics. Wowing critics with his ability to incite crowds with his creative flows, Ma has now unveiled his latest single, In the Morning.

Having established himself as an artist who occupies a league of his own in the increasingly crowded landscape of Australian hip-hop, Ma established his unique take on the genre and separated himself from the pack with his debut album Voyager.

In the Morning sources influence from ’80s UK post-punk and ’90s grunge, through to old-school hip-hop and celebrates living in the moment without glossing over absent milestones. The anthemic track offers listeners a peek into the singular mind of this Sydney-bred, Melbourne-based producer and emcee.
